PERRY'S VOYAGE

PERRY'S VOYAGE is all about a search and a journey, and music is the wind that directs the sails. Steven Perry's lyrics have a twisted beauty: balancing despair and hope in just the right proportions so that occasionly some humor and truth arise. One surprising element of Perry's lyrical approach is the musical underbelly that supports it- in songs like "When Your Brain Shuts Down" which explores the human condition in a typically bizarre and unexpected way - rarely are the melodies heavy or burdensome, but rather they soar with a vibrant and joyous freedom carried by rhythms that inject funk into the folk. After listening, it is not difficult to imagine Steven Perry's songwriting mentors: John Lennon, Van Morrison, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, John Prine, and Joel Plaskett. The delivery is also an integral part of experiencing PERRY'S VOYAGE - Steven Perry performs with more heart and soul than his hands and voice could ever properly convey, though they do a worthy and appreciable job trying. His face, body, hands and voice seek to tap into the 'it' during every show - the same 'it' from which the lyrics and inspiration for PERRY'S VOYAGE were born of in the first place. And Steven Perry has just the voice to communicate this inspiration - with his attractive, unique tone and dynamic emotional range.
PERRY'S VOYAGE has embarked, the journey is underway, and a sea of opportunity to create and write await somewhere out there in the dark. The light grows stronger and stronger as the search continues.
